Welcome! My goal is to do my very best to understand your situation and to provide a full and complete answer for you.
Good morning. No, she would not have any ownership claim to the property based on the marriage. She would have the rights of a tenant, which would require you to provide written notice of at least 30 days to terminate her tenancy. But, there would be no ownership rights.
